ICC/IF image of ab18211 stained human HeLa cells. The cells were methanol fixed (5 min) and incubated with the antibody (ab18211, 1µg/ml) for 1h at room temperature. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Image-iTTM FX Signal Enhancer was used as the primary blocking agent, 5% BSA (in TBS-T) was used for all other blocking steps. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue). Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red).

ab18211 at 1/300 staining adult rat brain (perfusion fixed) tissue sections by IHC-Fr. Adult rat was perfused intracardially with paraformaldehyde 4% in PB 0.2M. The brain was post-fixed in the same fixative for 24 hours. Sections were cryoprotected with sucrose 20% and later frozen in OCT. Sections were incubated in free floating for 12h with the primary antibody (1/300) and later revealed with secondary antibody conjugated with Alexa Fluor ® 488 (1/2000).

The staining obtained is restricted to the cytoplasm and consists of a small and thin punctate staining. The picture shows the staining obtained at the level of the spinal cord using the X20 objective and zooming on two particular neurons.
